Yun Ying led Hulu into the kitchen, beaming. "Just look at all this activity! It warms my heart and really feels like the New Year. The smell carried all the way out to the courtyard. My stomach started growling the moment I got to the gate. I'm not going to be polite—I need a bite to eat first."
He exclaimed, "Go on, eat! That's what it's for. Let me get you a bowl and some chopsticks. You can pick at whatever you like. We're a simple family, no need to wait for everything to be served at the table."
Even as He spoke, Aunt Liu had already rushed over to the cupboard. She pulled out a clean bowl and chopsticks, scalded them with some boiling water from the kettle on the stove, and then handed them to Yun Ying.
The moment he entered, Hulu went straight to Juhua's side.
